Motion: McGarity Second: Arnold Ayes: McGarity, Arnold, Wright, Johnson, Tate and Hobbs Nays: none Approved: 6 -0 Agenda Item #6. ZA 94 -59. Specific Use Permit Zoning Administrator, Karen Gandy, informed the Commission that the Applicant's request is for Specific Use Permit approval for the development of an indoor baseball facility and outdoor fields for instruction and entertainment per Ordinance No. 480, Section 45.1 #11 on property legally described as Lot 5, Block 1, Phase I and Lots 6 and 7, Block 1, Phase II, Greenlee Business Park and approximately 5.17 acres out of Tract 6 in the John A. Freeman Survey, Abstract No. 529. The location is West of South Kimball Ave., North of East Continental Ave. The Current Zoning is "I -1" Light Industrial District. The Land Use Category is Industrial. The Owners are E.L.F.M. Inc. and Chris Lamon and the Applicant is Texas Baseball Center, David L. Thorne and Robert Walton, Agents. Six written notices were sent out within the 200' notification area and three written responses was received in favor and one written response (from Billie Farrar, Scott Farrar & Nat Gibbs) was opposed. Three written responses were received from outside the 200' notification area in favor and two written responses from outside the 200' notification area were opposed. Commissioner McGarity verified with Ms. Gandy that Mrs. Eddie Chiles was the principle of E.L.F.M. Inc. owning the property to the North. Ms. Gandy confirmed that she was the owner. Matt Goodwin, Project Engineer, Goodwin and Marshall, was present to represent this item. Mr. Goodwin stated that Ms. Beverly Thorne, Bob Walton and Ed Schwartz would address issues and answer questions from the Commission in addition to his representation. Mr. Goodwin expressed to the Commission that the project was important in today's youth society and would be an important boom for the City of Southlake to have this project within its boundaries. The proposal is for an indoor pitching and batting facility and outdoor facilities including a major ball field at the center of the property facing out toward S. Kimball Road. Little Fenway Park for the smaller children will be up against the residential zoned property. Mr. Goodwin discussed the abundance of trees along the borderlines which will also act as buffers and he requested that a 6' stockade fence be installed instead of a masonry fence bordering the residential boundary. He commented that the lighting on the ball fields had been oriented so that light would not directly shine G: \W PF\MTG\MIN\7 -7 -94. W PD Planning and Zoning Meeting July 7, 1994 Page 4 toward the property to the West which was recently zoned residential. He passed out information on the hours of operation and discussed this with the Commission. Beverly Thorne provided a color exhibit of the proposed baseball facility. She commented that this was a business enterprise which would provide a service for children ages 9 -18 years. She stated that the facility would be a bridge between recreation and high school, it would provide qualified instruction to train properly, thus avoiding injuries, it would give the children a more competitive form of baseball, and it would take the pressure off the use of public parks. The operation would facilitate select baseball teams and it would also eliminate the need to drive to Fort Worth or Dallas to attend a facility of this type. Rob Walton, Managing Partner, told the Commission that he has played baseball from the age of 7 -31. Baseball has been a big part of his life. He earned a college scholarship and played professional baseball with the Baltimore Orioles. He currently teaches and coaches at another facility. His desire is to coach and teach young children how to play baseball at this new facility thus building their self- confidence. Without good instruction, children tend to give up. He wants to reach children with technique and time and a work ethic which will grow into success in life. Positive feedback in a child's talent leads to better schoolwork and a better overall self image. Lack of knowledge in younger children leads to injuries early on. Quality instruction and a child being taught to do things right from the beginning lends to having more fun in life. Commissioner Hobbs asked if they expected to experience any adverse effects from gangs and if there had been any police problems after hours at the facility that Mr. Walton now manages. Mr. Walton said that there had been no problems in the four years he has worked there. Commissioner McGarity asked if a public address system was planned for the facility and the applicant said there would not be any outdoor amplification. Commissioner Johnson commented that the late hours might create problems with residents. Ms. Thorne commented that Southlake public parks cutoff was 12:00 midnight and that their facility would cease operation around 10:30 p.m. Ed Schwartz Jr., VP of Ed's Electric Lighting Services, provided the Commission with a presentation explaining the lighting equipment to be used on the ball fields and stated his job as contractor would be to get the acceptable light level shields and fine tune the lighting to whatever is acceptable. He also handed out aerial photos of other ball fields in residential neighborhoods and explained their effect on the residents. G: \W PF\MTG\MIN\7 -7 -94. W PD • Planning and Zoning Meeting July 7, 1994 Page 5 Mr. Goodwin stated that the 100' setback between the residential property and the baseball facility lighting will be accommodated. The tree buffer and the location and type of the fence dividing the residential property was discussed at length. A priority will be to save all trees on the property line. Commissioner Johnson asked if stands or bleachers would be erected and Ms. Thorne commented that they were not in the plans at this time. Commissioner Tate asked if the facility would be available to lease for a tournament and Ms. Thorne said this was not an option unless, as an example, a citizen of Southlake wished to sponsor a tournament of select teams from other cities to play the Southlake select teams. The facility would not be leased for adult baseball tournaments. Mr. Goodwin addressed the issue of parking. He requested that 60 stalls be included in Phase I. Staff commented that 200 spaces were required based on the size of the building. It was recommended after much discussion that 77 stalls be provided immediately and an additional 75 spaces be provided one year later to accommodate growth. Public Hearing. David Yelton, 1346 Lakeview, stated that he is on the Board of Southlake Baseball Association and is a member of the Southlake Parks Development Corporation. He has talked to coaches and parents active in baseball and had received strong support for this project. He noted that Bicentennial Park now has 3 ball fields and will soon have 7 lighted parks and this has not had an effect on people moving into the neighborhood. He commented that gangs are not an issue and that participation in select baseball requires the parents to be intent on their child's activities. There is no room for undesirables. Billie Farrar, 600 W. Park Row, Arlington, said that this was a fine proposal but she disagreed with its location. She commented that you can't grow trees to cover the lights and this facility will require extensive lighting, The indoor facility will operate year round causing increased traffic. The outdoor facilities will cause loud noise, traffic and lighting long hours into the night. This use is not compatible with residential zoning. No one will choose to live next door to a baseball field. Her property was recently zoned SF -20A at the request of the city. This facility will adversely affect her property . Richard Crow, 1502 Plantation, urged the Planning and Zoning Commission to extend the 200' notification area. He commented that the applicant repeatedly used the phrase "not at this time" rather than having a precise plan in place. He stated that opening the door for an entertainment facility would be an attractive nuisance to the City of Southlake. He is opposed. G: \W PF\MTG\MIN\7 -7 -94. W PD Planning and Zoning Meeting July 7, 1994 Page 6 Steve Skelton, 587 Shady Oaks, stated that as a resident to the north of Bicentennial Park, he is impacted by the lights shining into his home and the noise which goes on late into the night. His opinion as a homeowner living next to lighted baseball fields is that this proposal will be objected to by future residents living next door to it. Chris Lamon, 315 Eastwood Dr., property owner of this request, commented that he will lose $80,000 with the sale of this property. He stated that this use is a good buffer between residential and industrial. Mr. Lamon owns a construction company in Keller and one of the reasons he built his company in Keller is because this type of business did not appeal to the City of Southlake. He feels that the baseball facility would enhance Southlake rather than take away from it. Mr. Goodwin commented that there were worse uses which could be put in the "I -1" Light Industrial District. He is working on several other projects around the area and he feels that this is by far the most appealing project he has seen. He feels this is a very good use for this property. Rob Walton stated that this facility is not for beer drinking people who buy their ticket and plan to enjoy the evening. The emphasis is on teaching young children and it is more classroom motivated. Billie Farrar commented that the place to teach is in the school house. Children make lots of noise and the parents and grandparents will make just as much noise. This is a good idea but this is the wrong location. Public Hearing Closed. Chairman Wright called a recess at 9:12 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 9:30 p.m. Commissioner Arnold asked if fees would be charged to parents and Mr. Walton said there would be a gated ticket booth charging $2.00 per adult in addition to the league fees. Commissioner Tate asked if the S.U.P was granted could the applicant expand and add on at a later time and Ms. Gandy explained that they would have to come before the Commission with Concept Plan changes to do so. Any stipulations to the S.U.P. would be limited in the Motion. Commissioner Tate commented that it would be hard to enforce restrictions placed on the S.U.P. Commissioner Murphy reminded the Commission that the recent rezoning of the adjoining residential property was far from unanimous. There was a lot of discussion on this property before tonight. He commented that other uses for this property could be fire stations or sheet metal shops and the Commission should really think about all of the other permitted uses before making a decision. G: \WPF\MTG\MIN\7 -7 -94. WPD Planning and Zoning Meeting July 7, 1994 Page 7 Commissioner Johnson stated that he is in favor of this proposal and he felt that this proposed use is much more preferable than many other more odious uses that are allowed under "I -1" Light Industrial District. Chairman Wright commented that this was a very nice high quality plan but he felt it was the wrong location for the City of Southlake. Commissioner McGarity commented that this use was a softer use than some of the other "I -1" uses. Commissioner Arnold commented that it was a wonderful concept but maybe the hours should be cut back. She also had concerns about the location. Commissioner Tate commented that this was a great facility but also questioned the location. Motion was made requesting approval of ZA 94 -59, Specific Use Permit, subject to the Plan Review Summary dated July 1, 1994 and including the following: a) granting substitution of a masonry fence with a stockade fence and work with Staff to save trees located on the property line; b) restricting hours of operation to end at 9:00 p.m.; c) prohibiting outdoor amplification or public address system; d) prohibiting bleachers or spectator stands; e) define Concept Plan specifying immediate installation of 77 parking stalls with the another 75 stalls constructed one year later; f) prohibiting alcohol to be purchased or consumed on the property; and g) prepare a descriptive report of the activities and uses of the building. Motion: McGarity Second: Johnson Ayes: McGarity, Murphy, Johnson Nays: Wright, Arnold, Hobbs, Tate Denied: 4 -3 Agenda Item #7. ZA 94 -60. Plat Revision/Greenlee Business Park Zoning Administrator, Karen Gandy, informed the Commission that the Applicant's request is for a Plat Revision of Lot 6 and Lot 7, Block 1, Greenlee Business Park, Phase II, and 9.177 acres of land in the John A. Freeman Survey, Abstract No. 529, and Lot 5, Block 1, Greenlee Business Park, Phase I, and being revised to Lot 5R and Lot 8, Block 1, Greenlee Business Park, Phase I. The location is West of South Kimball Ave., North of East Continental Ave. The Current Zoning is "I -1" Light Industrial District. The Land Use Category is Industrial. The Owners are E.L.F.M. Inc. and Chris Lamon and the Applicant is Texas Baseball Center, David L. Thorne and Robert Walton, Agents. Eight written notices were sent out within the 200' notification area and two written responses were received in favor and one written response was opposed. G: \W PF\MTG\MIN\7 -7 -94.

Rezoning Request Zoning Administrator, Karen Gandy informed the Commission that the Applicant's request is for Rezoning a 0.50 acre tract of land situated in the A.A. Freeman Survey, Abstract No. 522. The location is South of N. Peytonville Ave., West of Southridge Lakes Addition. The Current Zoning is "AG" Agricultural and the Requested Zoning is "SF -20A" Single - Family Residential District. The Land Use Category is Medium Density Residential. The Owner /Applicant is Fred R. Joyce. Seven written responses were sent out and no written responses were received. John Levitt, representative for the Owner /Applicant was present to represent this item. Mr. Levitt commented that this 30' strip would be incorporated into SouthRidge Lakes Phase 7. Public Hearing. Public Hearing Closed. Motion was made to approve ZA 94 -66 Rezoning Request. Motion: Johnson Second: Tate Ayes: McGarity, Arnold, Murphy, Wright, Johnson, Tate and Hobbs Nays: none Approved: 7 -0 G: \W PF\MTG\MIN\7 -7 -94. W PD Planning and Zoning Meeting July 7, 1994 Page 9 Agenda Item #9. ZA 94 -67. Rezoning Request Zoning Administrator, Karen Gandy informed the Commission that the Applicant's request is for Rezoning a 1.45 acre tract of land situated in the John A. Freeman Survey, Abstract No. 529. The location is 2111 E. Southlake Blvd. The Current Zoning is "AG" Agricultural and the Requested Zoning is "C -1" Neighborhood Commercial District. The Land Use Category is Mixed Use. The Owner /Applicant is Wayne Howell. Seven written notices were sent out and one written response was received from within the 200' notification area opposed. Six written responses were received from outside the 200' notification area opposed. Commissioner McGarity asked what the dimensions of the property and the Owner, Wayne Howell stated that they were 111.22 feet frontage and 567.5 feet depth of which the highway department owned 14.6 feet. Wayne Howell was present to represent this item. Mr. Howell introduced Larry Hutto, Realtor representing the buyer of the property, and Frank Putt to discuss the intended use of the property. Mr. Hutto explained that a dry cleaner substation service would be located in the front of the property with a one story professional office building in the rear. Frank Putt, #2 Palomino, Trophy Club, stated that the dry cleaner substation would basically be a drop off station where customers would leave their clothes and the dry cleaning would be taken to another location for the actual cleaning. No chemicals would be at the substation, only counters and conveyors to move the clothes. Commissioner McGarity commented that this request was another example of the streamline process and in granting "C -1" Neighborhood Commercial District zoning the Commission is giving up the ability and not seeing firsthand what is developing in Southlake. Mr. Hutto said that he would agree to the specific intended use of the property for the dry cleaning use and the office use. Public Hearing. George Barclay, 205 Westwood Dr., stated that his property touches the back corner of the subject property and the "C -1" request is premature. He said that at some future time the Zembrod Ranch will be coming before the Commission for a zoning change and Mr. Barclay feels that "C -1" zoning G: \W PF\MTG\MIN\7 -7 -94. W PD Planning and Zoning Meeting July 7, 1994 Page 10 could influence how that property is zoned. This could have an ultimate negative impact on the surrounding property owners. Donna Schroctke, 211 Eastwood Dr., stated that she is opposed to the blanket "C -1" uses and would rather see SP -2 to see exactly what use will be permitted. She might agree with the request if a site plan is submitted showing the specific dry cleaning and office building use. She is also concerned with the increased traffic. Martha Taylor, 209 Eastwood Dr., is opposed for the same reasons as Ms. Schroctke. She also stated that "C -1" leaves the uses open to gas stations or anything else the owner may want to put there. She sees only a strip that could contain just about anything. She wants continuity. Commissioner Arnold asked if the Owner /Applicant would have any problem in tabling the request and coming back with a site plan. Chairman Wright explained the "C -1" and "S -P -1 & 2" Site Plan District Regulations. George Barclay, 205 Westwood Dr., commented that Telesupport Inc. owned the adjacent corner property bordering the subject property and the zoning would dictate what use Telesupport would decide for this property. Wayne Howell, Owner /Applicant, requested that ZA 94 -67 be tabled to the August 4, 1994 Planning and Zoning Meeting to give him time to prepare a Site Plan for the specific use of a dry cleaning and office building use. Community Development Director, Greg Last stated that Staff would advise the Applicant regarding the Site Plan requirements. Motion was made at the Owner /Applicant's request to table ZA 94 -67 Rezoning Request to the August 4, 1994 Planning and Zoning Meeting and continue the public hearing. Motion: Hobbs Second: Tate Ayes: McGarity, Arnold, Murphy, Wright, Johnson, Tate and Hobbs Nays: none Approved: 7 -0 Agenda Item #10. ZA 94-68. Rezoning and Concept Plan Zoning Administrator, Karen Gandy informed the Commission that the Applicant's request is for rezoning and Concept Plan approval for a 30.4315 acre tract of land situated in the T.M. Hood Survey, Abstract No. 706. The location is the East side of Shady Oaks Dr., South of W. Highland G: \W PF \MTG\MIN\7 -7 -94. W PD Planning and Zoning Meeting July 7, 1994 Page 11 St. The Current Zoning is "AG" Agricultural and the Requested Zoning is "CS" Community Service District. The Land Use Category is Medium Density Residential. The Owner /Applicant is Carroll Independent School District. Fourteen written notices were sent out and four notices were received opposed. Warren Anderson, 128 E. Texas Street, Ft. Worth was present to represent this item. Mr. Anderson explained that this would be a combination Elementary and Intermediate school containing approximately 135,000 sq. ft. The capacity of the Elementary School would be 650 students and the Intermediate capacity would be 550 students. It would take three to four years to reach the growth capacity. He commented that this would be a facility jointly used by the City. The site is designed so that it can be used without accessing the schools. Soccer fields will be put in by the city in joint utilization. Commissioner Arnold asked if Mr. Anderson had any problems with the Plan Review Summary dated July 1, 1994. Mr. Anderson said that item #10, the thoroughfare plan requiring the continuation of Chapel Downs West through this property would be a problem. Commissioner Johnson asked if there would be lighting on the soccer fields and Mr. Anderson said that there will be only daytime use of the fields and no lighting would be installed. Commissioner Johnson asked if there would be sufficient parking and Mr. Last said that issue would be addressed when the Site Plan was submitted. Commissioner Arnold asked the status of the sewer. The applicant explained that Cheatham and Associates are working on this and the sewer will be developed as required. Mr. Last explained the sewer lift station operation. Public Hearing. Steven Skelton, 587 N. Shady Oaks, pointed out that all adjacent tracts are zoned "AG" Agricultural with residents living there. He wants reduction of evening lighting. Mr. Last stated that although the bufferyards were shown on the plan, it was his understanding from previous meetings with CISD personnel that they wished to request a waiver of the bufferyards and landscaping requirements. Hugh Shearer, 620 Shady Oaks, said that access to the school is in front of his house. Traffic going in and out will be pointed directly at his front door. He does not want lighting in the soccer fields and he is concerned about the noise. G: \W PF\MTG\MIN\7 -7 -94. W PD Planning and Zoning Meeting July 7, 1994 Page 12 Wendy Robinson, 610 Shady Oaks, said she was not aware of the change because she was not notified. Ms. Gandy explained that since she recently purchased her property, the TAD records did not reflect her ownership of the property and that she needed to contact the TAD to correct their information. Debra Shearer, 620, Shady Oaks, commented that the entrance to the school and the bulk of the traffic would be at the top of the hill and would be a safety issue. She suggested using the land that was to be the soccer fields as a nature refuge. Richard Crow, 1502 Plantation, brought up the sewer issue and asked if sewer would be made available to developers since it apparently is being made available to the school district. Mr. Last and Chairman Wright explained that the Trinity River Authority is working with the schools and letting them use the capacity promised to the City of Southlake until such time as the northern sewer is built. Public Hearing Closed. Commissioner Arnold commented that it was a good idea to combine the two schools together utilizing one principle, one cafeteria, and the soccer fields. Commissioner McGarity said the access to the south should be eliminated to avoid traffic pointing in the direction of the Shearer house. Commissioner Johnson stated that the hill and vertical curve should be addressed. Motion was made recommending Rezoning and Concept Plan approval of ZA 94 -68 subject to the Plan Review Summary dated July 1, 1994, eliminating item #10 requiring the continuation of Chapel Downs Drive, limiting access to three curb cuts and work with staff to address sight limitations due to grade differential at south bus lane and the driveway across the street, no lights on fields, and work with city on traffic /road improvements and sidewalks along frontage. Motion: Johnson Second: Murphy Ayes: McGarity, Arnold, Murphy, Wright, Johnson, Tate and Hobbs Nays: none Approved: 7 -0 Agenda Item #11, ZA 94 -69. Rezoning Request Zoning Administrator, Karen Gandy informed the Commission that the Applicant's request is for G: \WPF\MTG\MIN\7 -7 -94. W PD Planning and Zoning Meeting July 7, 1994 Page 13 rezoning a 4.7 acre tract of land and a 4.742 acre tract of land situated in the Jesse G. Allen Survey, Abstract No. 18. The location is the North side of Union Church (W. Continental Blvd.), approximately 600' West of Davis Blvd. The Current Zoning is "I -1 "Light Industrial District and the Requested Zoning is "SF -1A" Single - Family Residential District. The Land Use Category is Low Density Residential /100 Year Flood Plain. The Applicant is the City of Southlake. Fifteen written notices were sent out and three written responses were received in favor within the 200' notification area and three written responses were received opposed within the 200' notification area. One verbal response from within the 200' notification area was received opposed. Three written responses were received in favor from outside the 200' notification area. Commissioner McGarity asked staff for clarification on the flood plain running through the property. Greg Last explained that the creek ran through the center of the property and the residential homes would be on the West side of the creek and Existing "I -1" uses would remain on the East side of the creek. Public Hearing Tom Poteet, 6700 McCoy Dr. Fort Worth, stated that there is already heavy industry at this location and if single - family residential goes in, either the homeowners or the owners of the industries are going to be very unhappy.
